Windy Conditions Bring New Challenges at the 2015 Aussie Open
Date Published

The third round of the 2015 Aussie Open got off to a very different start than what players had experienced in the previous two days. Gone were the blistering heat and humidity, replaced by overcast skies and a chilly breeze that whipped across the Mundaring Sporting Club course. The wind proved to be both a blessing and a curse for many of the competitors, with some struggling to adapt while others thrived.
Simon Feasey was one player who seemed unfazed by the conditions. He began the day with a three-shot lead over his nearest rival but quickly extended his margin with an impressive run of birdies on seven of his first nine holes. Despite cooling off slightly in the back nine, he maintained a commanding lead and now sits 10 throws ahead of the rest of the field after three rounds.
Val Jenkins continued to impress with her steady play, carding even par on the front nine and finishing with a score of four over par for the day. Her total of six over par has placed her in tenth position in the Open division, much to the relief of the men competing alongside her.
Yesterday's record-breaking performances by Simon Lizotte and Paul McBeth were matched once again today as they took their turns on the lead card together. The pair continued to feed off each other's energy, with McBeth landing an impressive eagle 2 on the second hole after a successful layup from around 250 feet. However, he was unable to sustain his momentum, and it was Lizotte who ultimately finished strong with birdies on three of his final four holes.
The competition is set to conclude tomorrow, with Ricky Wysocki and Dave Feldberg joining the lead card for the final round. The first-ever Major Championship in the southern hemisphere has been a resounding success, with tournament organizers Chris Finn and Rob Kyle receiving praise from all corners. As the players prepare to tee off on Sunday morning, one thing is clear: only time will tell if anyone can catch Simon Feasey, Val Jenkins, or Paul McBeth as they vie for the championship title.
The live scores will be updated throughout the final round, giving fans around the world a chance to witness history in the making.
